Just out of interest for next baby; I'm not actually pregnant Wink

Flora or Jessica?

Louie or William?

Both girls names are lovely. Definitely William for a boy.

Flora and Louis (not Louie)

Flora and William are lovely! I like Jessica too but I really hate Louie/ Louis. It's completely irrational of me and I'm sure there are some lovely Louis / Louies around, but I just find the sound whingey and unappealing. Also, it's hard to say in my some accents.

Flora and Louie

The William I know gets teased with Willy quite a bit...

Flora and William - Flora was on our list, turns out he doesn't look like a Flora!

Flora and William.

Flora and William.

I like the Louis spelling of Louie more (but still prefer William), and Jessica is very outdated. Jessicas were a dime a dozen in the 80s and 90s.

Yeah, I know Flora is the name of a brand of marg, you didn't have to post a photo Grin

Flora is the Roman goddess of spring.

Jessica and Louis (with the 's' ending).

crombanna · 19/10/2016 20:35

Jessica
Louis

Flingmoo · 19/10/2016 20:33

Sorry, but I can't think of the name Flora without thinking of this... I didn't realise it was an actual name?

Not trying to be horrible or anything, just my honest opinion!

Jessica and Louie but I'd spell it Louis

I really don't like Jennifer much, sorry - has a very 80s vibe to it :)

Jessica and Louis. (Yes, with an S)

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 19/10/2016 19:27

Jessica and Louis

twinjocks · 19/10/2016 19:21

Flora and William

MadameJosephine · 19/10/2016 19:21

I don't like either of your girl's names sorry. How about Jennifer for a less common alternative to Jessica?

For the boys names, William wins for me by a mile, gorgeous name

MrsCaecilius · 19/10/2016 19:19

Flora and William. 100%.

Jessica is pretty but popular and I'm not keen on Louie.

PotatoBread · 19/10/2016 19:18

Flora or Louie

Jessica's popularity puts me off but also draws me if that isn't too much of a contradiction.

I love unusual names but there can be something nice about blending into the crowd.
